The landscape changed.

  Four balls with strange lights suddenly appeared on the four directions.

  The rolling Demon Aura spread out from the sphere, making the world seem to return to a chaotic state. The front, back, left, and right were all covered with fog, making it impossible to see a hundred meters away. The horrible Demon Aura seemed to be real, wrapping people as if they were stuck in a viscous swamp. They seemed to have entered another strange space. The spaceship, which was only tens of meters away, had completely disappeared!

  “This is……”


  “Formation?”


  “The Three Sovereigns of Ning Province” felt a burst of terror.

  The four balls with strange lights made them feel a sense of danger.

  Ding Hao slowly walked out of the fog, stepping on the void as if walking on the ground. He said with cold voice, “More than twenty days ago, beside a pond in a valley six kilometers away, you hunted down a disciple of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect. Is he alive or dead now?”


  Tian Neng and the others found an undershirt of a male disciple of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect beside the pond of a waterfall. When Ding Hao investigated later, he found the breath of “The Three Sovereigns of Ning Province,” so that matter had to be figured out. Whether the disciple of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect was alive or not, he had to know his whereabouts.

  “Twenty days ago, in the pond?” The eldest one was slightly stunned and sneered. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”


  Ding Hao said angrily, “I found your traces there. Do you want to deny it?”


  The youngest one seemed to think of something and shouted, “Yes, we’ve been to that place, but we didn’t find any disciples of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect, not even a living person. That day, we only met a fierce beast of fire property, and we brothers got a ‘Heaven-Earth Blood Bone’ ……”


  “Didn’t they meet the disciples of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect?”


  Ding Hao had been carefully observing the expressions of those three and found that their words were not lies. Then he thought about his findings on that day. Although he felt the aura of “The Three Sovereigns of Ning Province” in the air, he didn’t find any direct evidence of the battle between them…… “Did they really not see the disciples of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect?”


  “‘The Three Sovereigns of Ning Province’ claim to be noble. Why, Don’t you dare to admit what you have done?” Ding Hao sounded them out again.

  “Pooh! Why wouldn’t I dare to admit it? Killing a f*cking disciple of your Swordsmanship-seeking Sect is like killing a dog. If I kill him, I’ll admit it. If I didn’t kill him, then I didn’t kill him,” The youngest one was a bad tempered man, so he immediately replied angrily.

  “It seems that they really didn’t see the disciple of Swordsmanship-seeking Sect.”


  Ding Hao made a judgment in his heart.

  That slightly reduced the killing intent in his heart.

  The four light balls around them were the hearts of the giant ape with six arms and three heads, the giant monster with a crab body and a human head, and other two fierce beasts killed by Ding Hao. Those hearts were sealed with the “Eternal Sky Immortal Light Seal” and refined slightly according to the methods taught by Saber Master and Sword Master. Based on the terrible demonic power contained in the four hearts, coupled with the inscription, Ding Hao could set up a small world formation to isolate everything, which was comparable to the vault battlefield.

  Ding Hao had completed mastering that small world formation only a few days before.

  Originally, that small world formation was one of the trump cards to deal with Ning Huxiao. If he failed to ambush Ning Huxiao in the ancient city’s military depot, he would rely on that method to kill him, the sword cultivator of the Heaven-Splitting Swordsmanship Sect. Fortunately, that battle was very successful, but when he returned, he saw the “Three Sovereigns of Ning Province” were next to the “Divine Vessel No.1.”


  Ding Hao had actually gone there a long time ago, but he didn’t show up immediately. Instead, he quietly placed the hearts of the four peerless beasts in the surrounding void, spurred the power in them which triggered the formation. It happened to trap those three strong enemies.

  “If that’s the case, then there’s nothing to say.”


  Ding Hao opened his hands in the void, and “Shangye” and “Moon Cutting,” the two most familiar weapons to him, appeared in his hands slowly.

  A layer of white frost and cold air surrounded the sword “Shangye,” meanwhile the hot yellow flame was surrounding the “Moon Cutting” saber. Two kinds of opposite forces were being generated in Ding Hao’s body at the same time. Half of them were freezing, and the other half were burning. The silver and golden colors intertwined and derived a third energy which began to spread in all directions like the spirits of gods and devils.

  Ding Hao’s fighting spirit was high.

  “The Three Sovereigns of Ning Province” knew that it was useless to talk, so their expressions became serious.

  As they shouted, they put on their armor, which was gleaming. They were of three different colors, cyan, blue, and purple, with good shape, which were as dignified as emperor’s armor. The eldest one held a cyan long spear, the younger one held a blue axe, while the youngest one held purple twin hammers. The glaring Qi spread out of their bodies like a burning flame. As Martial King realm experts, their Qi circulated in their bodies like blood at a very fast speed, which could condense armor and weapons comparable to the divine armor and weapons.

  Ding Hao raised his hand.

  “Crack!”


  With the wielding of “Moon Cutting,” an invisible hot sword intent split heaven and earth.

  “Sword Intent?”


  The eldest one exclaimed and retreated rapidly.

  At the same time, the younger one and the youngest one went forward in an instant, and placed the weapons across their chests. With a slight shake, the weapons instantly expanded by dozens of times, like four steel walls blocking thing in front of them. In a flash, with a light “Ding” sound, their bodies seemed to have been struck by lightning, and they retreated at the same time.

  The axe and twin hammers returned to their original size, leaving a thin white mark on the surface.

  “Go, spear radiance!”


  With the shout, the eldest one flashed behind the two brothers and made a move in an instant.

  The cyan long spear was thrusted out.

  The cold spear radiance went first, and then the spear shot out like a dragon.

  In the air, it was filled with the sound of the spear.

  Ding Hao was stagnant in the void.

  The giant sword “Shangye” cut out and it was exactly the move of the “Seven Black Cut:·Seal Cut.”


  The “Seal Cut” was the only defensive move of the “Seven Black Cut”. It derived from Qi Qingshan’s “Closed Door Sword Method,” also combined with the defensive moves of some other sects in Snow Province. It could be said that it contained the meaning of defense and killing. It was the connecting move of “Seven Black Cut,” which took most of Ding Hao’s efforts.

  “Ding! Ding! Ding!”


  The clash of swords like the sound of raindrops rang one after another.

  The dense spear radiance was blocked by “Shangye,” the giant sword, in front of Ding Hao. Thousands of blue cold stars bloomed in front of him. Ding Hao used his Divine Awareness to the extreme to capture the spear radiance. “Shangye” turned into a white light and blocked attacks in front of him.

  “The power contained in each strike of the spear is equivalent to a full blow of a one-apertured Martial King……”


  “Rhythm…… rhythm…… so fast……”


  “It’s so fast…… I can’t stop it…… The fighting skill of a Martial King really can’t be underestimated……”


  Ding Hao had to retreat. The sword method “Seven Black Cut·Seal Cut” was gradually unable to block the lightning-fast radiance of the spear. The Qi spear that blew up the air almost tore everything apart. It disappeared like lightning around him. When Ding Hao used the “Seal Cut,” he had to rely on his body movements to dodge……

  “Splash! Splash! Splash!”


  Several sprays of blood burst out of Ding Hao’s body.

  Finally, he failed to completely block the lightning-like spear radiance.

  With a thought, Ding Hao immediately used the skill “One Thought to One Thousand meters” contained in the “Heaven-Earth Blood Bone” that he had obtained from the body of the small black snake. Ding Hao appeared on the other side in an instant and avoided the sudden attack.

  “After all, the ‘Seven Black Cut’ only contains the essence of some sects’ movements in Snow Province. My own vision is limited and I haven’t seen the martial fighting skills of super sects outside Snow Province…… ‘Seven Black Cut’ has not reached the Big Achievement Realm yet!” Ding Hao looked down at the three fist-sized blood holes between his chest and abdomen. In the end, he still couldn’t completely seal the killing move of the “Shattering Spear Light” by the eldest one.

  However, that was also one of Ding Hao’s purposes.

  He sealed the “Three Sovereigns of Ning Province” because he wanted to have a head-on fight with the three middle-level Martial King Realm experts. He really wanted to see the martial arts of some super sects. When he fought with those three people under the Giant Holy City, he relied on the power of the underground ancient inscription formation to completely suppress them with his strength. Moreover, when he fought with “Scar of Heaven” Ning Huxiao twice, Ning Huxiao’s strength was suppressed by the primordial inscription of the ancient city’s military depot. Ning Huxiao didn’t even have time to perform all his sword methods.

  Those few of combats with real experts were all fought with tricks.

  For Ding Hao, they didn’t have any referential value.

  Only then, for Ding Hao, it was a real battle with super geniuses.

  In a flash, although Ding Hao was injured by the spear of the eldest one, he also gained a lot. The “Mind Essential” could see the fleeting opportunity and make Ding Hao seize it. He could comprehend the mystery of many combat skills by looking at them only once. The move of the “Shattering Spear Light” gave Ding Hao a great amount of inspiration.

  In the blink of an eye, Ding Hao ran “A World inside the Body,” the Divine Awareness, and the wounds between his chest and abdomen were completely healed.

  With a flash, Ding Hao attacked again.

  Like lightning, he rushed to the “Three Sovereigns of Ning Province.”


  “Kill him!” After hurting Ding Hao with one move, the youngest one became more confident and said so. The long spears were thrust at Ding Hao like a dragon.

  All of a sudden, the sky was filled with spear radiance.

  “Seven Black Cut—Seal Cut!”


  Ding Hao still used the same skill again, but that time, the giant sword “Shangye” became easier to handle. The virtual but real sword shadows constantly collided with the spear radiance and knocked it away. Ding Hao could even stare at the boundless spear radiance and approach the eldest one bit by bit.

  “How could it be?” The eldest one was shocked.

  “In the blink of an eye, this opponent seems to have changed into another person. He was able to move freely and catch the moment and rhythm of my rapid spear radiance, stunningly dodging and blocking,” He thought.

  “Kill!”


  The younger one and the youngest one entered the battlefield from the side.

  Ding Hao was finally affected. He withdrew from the state of catching the rhythm of the spear radiance. After blood splashed, his body was stabbed by the spear radiance in succession. He sighed and retreated rapidly. At the critical moment, he used the “Horizontal Cut” and “Stabbing” to withdraw from the encirclement of those three.

  His clothes were torn into pieces by the sharp Qi afterwards.

  However, the fist-sized bloody holes inflicted by the spear radiance were healed in an instant.

  Ding Hao’s eyes were brighter.

  Although that kind of battle was a bit of self-abuse, that was what he wanted.

  After entering the Sage Battlefield, his strength improved by leaps and bounds, and he also fought with fierce beasts several times. But his realm was still unstable. Ding Hao knew very well that he needed a cruel battle to completely integrate all kinds of magical skills, power, ideas and fighting skills. The appearance of the “Three Sovereigns of Ning Province” might have been a coincidence, but they had become the best whetstone for Ding Hao.

  “Just Fight!”


  Ding Hao’s blood was boiling.
